Japan Re-Opens
The Man Who Unlocked Japan - Matthew Commodore C. Perry
This video is the school project of a group of high school seniors. It is particularly well done, though, and worth including in your studies of the opening of Japan.

SOTW 3, Chapter 32 - The Opened West
It is truly overwhelming how much information is available about the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and it is difficult to find short clips that summarize all of the material available. There are some excellent full-length documentaries that would fit nicely with this chapter. As of today, the Ken Burns PBS documentary and the National Geographic documentary are available on Netflix. The Biography Channel episode is available on Hulu Plus. These and more are most certainly available at the public library if you live in the Pacific/Inland Northwest!
